When I thought it belonged to a hawk, I could understand. Still, the episode was interesting. BTW, Donna dropped by tonight during happy hour.

One little squirrel likes to visit at lunch when we eat on the deck. He has a few nuts, we have our sandwiches.

They don't know how they're supposed to behave, and so they behave like, well, squirrels. Squirrels and turkeys are apparently sworn enemies, and even a feather is too much to bear!

I know these grey squirrels are a nuisance in America and the UK, but oohh they are so cute and funny. When we visit the English country side I can watch them for hours, but there are also lots of them in Kensington Park in London....<br />Regards, JannekeJanneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.com
